A few days later, the grasslands of the original Qiang and Yuezhi.
The corpses that were originally everywhere were now long gone.
Nature has its own unique method of disposal.
And for those birds, animals, insects and snakes, will heartily thank nature for its gifts.
For them, the meat of these two-legged beasts, and other animals, are no different.
In a more northerly direction, the tents of the herdsmen, once again appeared on the grasslands, as did the herds of cattle, sheep and horses.
Only what was different this time was that these people had a few Qin troops standing more or less beside them.
And at this time, in one of the tents, Liu Bang was happily drinking wine with a group of his subordinates, to a cup of wine, Liu Bang raised his cup at this time and said.
“Gentlemen, after taking this piece of grassland, now the Qiang and Yuezhi are completely in our hands, our credit is set!”
“Come, drink together.”
After saying that, he took the initiative to drink it all.
He was happy!
Now that the entire grassland, was in the hands of the Qin army, all the grasslanders who dared to resist, were turned into the most natural fertiliser for the grassland.
In other words, his credit has been secured.
And according to the twenty levels of Qin’s military achievements, this is considered a great achievement in opening up the territory, and it is really possible for him to be crowned as a marquis!
Of course, everyone knows that a title like Marquis is not something that just requires military service.
It must depend on whether the above is willing to give it to you or not.
But no matter what, a title of a concubine chief certainly can’t run away, that is only second to the existence of a marquis!
In other words, there’s no worry in this life.
This is definitely considered to be out of the ordinary!
That one tigress in his family has nothing to say.
But he didn’t notice the somewhat inexplicable gazes of the other people.
When Liu Bang finished drinking, the others also happily raised their glasses to celebrate at this time, as if the abnormality just now did not exist.
After drinking a few more points, Liu Bang staggered and stood up, walking towards the outside.
Drinking too much water, there will naturally be a reaction.
Fan Kuai also followed and walked out.
After Liu Bang walked out, there was an eerie silence in the tent, and then it was Lu Òài who spoke out and said.
“Gentlemen, isn’t it not good for us to deceive Duke Pei like this?”
Hearing this, the others hesitated, and at that moment, Zhang Liang spoke up and said.
“What are you talking about, Brother Lu? We are doing this for the good of Duke Pei!”
“Nowadays,
Although we have pacified this grassland, after we go back, Duke Pei will be able to get the title of concubine chief at most, but we are originally white, and I am afraid that we will only be able to get the title of the 11th grade.”
“Of course, this is also very good, no worries about food and clothing.”
The others also nodded slightly, Zhang Liang was indeed right.
Such a title promotion was actually already very fast!
Just as quickly, Zhang Liang changed his words and said.
“But don’t forget, are we really innocent?”
“When we took Pei County, there were some Qin troops who resisted, not to mention, when we followed General Xiang Zhuang and attacked other counties, we didn’t leave our hands behind!”
Hearing Zhang Liang’s words, the group could not help but look at each other.
Indeed, they have the blood of the Qin army on their hands!
It was just that later on, after Liu Bang returned to the throne, they intentionally forgot about these things.
“Well, A Liang, I know you want to stay here with Duke Pei and the rest of us and create something together, but there’s no need to be so intimidating, with His Highness the Crown Prince’s heart, he won’t be bothered about this with the rest of us.”
Cao Shen said at this time.
He still had a good feeling about Zhao Lang.
The others also nodded once again, they could also see Zhao Lang’s character.
The item of keeping one’s word, they all agreed with.
Zhang Liang’s eyes flashed slightly at this time, he didn’t think that Zhao Lang actually had such prestige in the hearts of these people. Gu
It was a good thing that he hadn’t been idle these days and had done quite a bit of padding.
Quickly said.
“Not bad, Your Highness the Crown Prince has a big heart, but what about the other Qin army generals?”
“Most of us are from lowly backgrounds, before the great war was in front of us, they wouldn’t say much, but now?”
“Do you all really think that there will be a place for us in the imperial court?”
“Even if you all have ten thousand ambitions and heavenly talents, what can you do?”
“Are you willing to go back and be hollowed out and subjected to the eyes of others?”
Zhang Liang poked and prodded at the hearts of the crowd with a single sentence before he finally threw down the gauntlet and said.
“Therefore, staying in these frontier lands is the best choice for us!”
After hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but hesitate, indeed, even if the Crown Prince was broad-minded, he couldn’t guarantee that the other Great Qin nobles would agree with them.
It was as if they wouldn’t really look at those slave recruits as equals either.
They wouldn’t be surprised.
As for the treatment of Chen Ping and Han Xin, this was just
Just an example.
I don’t see that His Highness the Crown Prince has even become a brother to the leader of the new army of slaves.
Those here are all smart people, naturally they can tell the difference.
And they were actually considered to be in high positions, having had actual power.
If they really want them to go back to the days before, when they only possessed titles, they are still a bit unwilling.
Power, as long as a man has owned it, it is extremely difficult to put it down.
This is also why, those who voluntarily give up power are celebrated, isn’t it because it’s too hard?
So for a while, everyone was silent, and in the end, it was LuÒ who said again.
“Good, let’s follow what Brother Liang said.”
The others didn’t didn’t object any more, and just then, Liu Bang had also returned, after sitting down again.
After drinking two more cups together, Liu Bang said at this time.
“Today has also been as much fun as possible, but can not be drunk, but also to give the Crown Prince to go to the letter to ask for credit.”
“I’ll leave the matter of requesting credit to Ah… Hmm… Senator Cao, you will be in charge.”
In fact, this matter had been Zhang Liang’s responsibility before, but after being pitied by the other party once, he still had a long memory.
This time, it was natural to leave it to Cao Sen, who had always been more reliable.
“Let’s just say that we are looking forward to our return early.”
Liu Bang said with a few smiles.
He couldn’t help but smile when he thought of the good days of wine, food, and beautiful people when he returned.
Having lived half a life of misery, now that he was finally going to live a good life, how could he not be happy?
Cao Sen rose with a complex expression and saluted in response.
Soon after the banquet dispersed, Cao Shen returned to his tent and opened the special Qin army letter paper.
After pondering for a while, he put pen to paper and wrote.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince… The army is victorious… I, Liu Bang, request to stay at the border…”
Not long after, a fast horse headed towards the direction of the Great Wall.
A few days later, peace was restored to the Qin army camp at the Great Qin Border.
At this time, it was busy, but everyone’s face was mostly smiling, they had won, naturally they were happy.
Inside the Qin army’s centre tent, Meng Ten and Zhao Lang were looking at a pile of paperwork in front of them.
Zhao Lang was frowning in distress, and Meng Ten laughed and said.
“What is troubling Your Highness the Crown Prince?”
Zhao Lang gave a bitter smile and said.
“There are too many meritorious officials, but I don’t know how to place them.”
